A matchup between the two has been brewing since Cruz tweeted a picture of himself courtside for Game 7 Western Conference Finals. When the Rockets lost, Kimmel mocked Cruz on Twitter and said he looked like a “blobfish.”

Cruz responded, challenging Kimmel to a game of one-on-one. On a nightly show that followed, Kimmel agreed to play.

A notable spectator was Grayson Allen, the former Duke Blue Devil often linked to Cruz. And while the senator may look like the future NBA Draft pick, he proved he has some game like Allen, too.
